The Design

About Infinity Kunsinstallasie

Infinity is 'n hangende houtinstallasie wat vir die binneruim van 'n meubelwinkel geskep is. Die werk is gemaak van gepersde houtfineer wat in twee basiese vorms gevorm is, wat baie kere in verskeie oriëntasies herhaal word. Presiese geometriese lasse verbind die stukke tot een deurlopende, vloeiende lyn. Elke gepersde stuk is 1 meter lank en 6 mm dik. Infinity hang van die plafon aan metaaldrade van 1 mm dik, 4 meter bo die vloer, en beslaan 'n oppervlakte van ongeveer 4 meter wyd en 10,5 meter lank. 'n Handgemaakte model is met 3D geskandeer, en die vorm is met CNC gefrees.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: Wooden wall panels come alive and wander off around the interior space. Precise geometrical joints create a fluid continuous form out of numerous pieces of pressed bent wood.
The entire element, made of only two different basic shapes attached together multiple times in several orientations, comes together to create an organic-like natural fluid line.
Suspended from the ceiling using 1 mm thin metal wires, the wooden surface floats as far as 10.5 meters away from the wall.
Dimensions & Packaging: Infinity is suspended 4 meters off the floor and covers an area that is roughly 4 meters wide and 10.5 meters long.
Each single pressed wooden piece is 1 meter long and 6 mm thick.

Production Technology: Infinity is made of pressed wood veneers. In order to design this organic flow curve, a physical model was hand made and then 3D scanned to create a file base for us to work on thus maintaining a handcrafted feel to the object.
After CNC milling the mold, thin wood veneers layered with glue were pressed against each other to create the "building blocks" that later formed the object.
Inspiration: Confetti paper rolls throne in the air creating an infinite airborne doodle in mid flight was the idea that we wanted to recreate.
We know that for many, this project resembles a ribbon gymnast dance frozen inmid air.
The use of pressed wood creates a contrast between the dynamic soft shape and the clean elegance historically embedded in the material.
Project Duration: The project was designed and built February - April 2021. Designed for a furniture shop's interior design.
Operation Flow: Walking around and underneath Infinity, you feel drawn into the tangled
wooden curve. The object feels as if it is in continuous motion.
